Back to the show…

Really a preliminary release looking for testers and feedback at this point…

jmc_event_manager v 0.1.1 beta
Event Manager Plugin/Hack

Requires addition to database (automatically installs, checks ~~everytime,~~ and fixes where necessary, though isn’t perfect yet)
Event Listing
Venue Listing to come…

All thoughts welcome…

Example Uses:

UK Record Label Tru Thoughts – Upcoming Events
UK Band Kaiser Chiefs – Gig Guide (also has past gigs with photos + videos )
Niconemo has implemented it for important dates at rueraisin.org (off to the right under Agenda)
From sthmtc we have it being used rather nicely at WeKnowRap on the right sidebar
From fine art david we have a a heap of uses over the site Brand New Beat
From maniqui simple implementation
From the infamous pieman we have another hot Gig guide

Required:

form: form name – no default

Extras:

limit: limit the number of events shown (jmc_events is recursive) – default infinite
future: future events – default 1
past: past events – default 0
venue_id: limit to a certain venue – default none
event_id: specific event – default none
sort_by: just in case you wish to sort by an alternate arrangement (eg venue_id) – default id
sort_order: asc*(ending) or *desc*(ending) – default *asc

Call to insert information within using the following:
<code><txp:jmc_event_name />
<txp:jmc_event_id />
<txp:jmc_event_price />
<txp:jmc_event_otherbands />
<txp:jmc_event_otherinfo />
<txp:jmc_venue_name />
<txp:jmc_venue_id />
<txp:jmc_venue_address1 />
<txp:jmc_venue_address2 />
<txp:jmc_venue_suburb />
<txp:jmc_venue_state />
<txp:jmc_venue_country />
<txp:jmc_venue_postcode />
<txp:jmc_venue_phone />
<txp:jmc_venue_url />
<txp:jmc_venue_email />
<txp:jmc_venue_otherinfo /></code>

Call to insert times using:
<code><txp:jmc_event_time php_date=“phpDateFunction” /></code>
Uses php date function string

Default start time, otherwise <code>start=“0”</code> should be added.

Inserting venue can either be done inline (as per above) OR in a separate form as shown below:
<code><txp:jmc_venue form=“venueForm” /></code>

I have include a function to test the existence of a variable:
<code><txp:jmc_if_variable variable=“variableName”>< /txp:jmc_if_variable></code>
This works ok, but update (to come shortly) will also have the reverse (check if a variable does not exist).

Example forms:
Events listing (called from jmc_events form=“formName”):
<code><li> <h3><txp:jmc_event_name /></h3> <ul> <li class=“venue”> <txp:jmc_venue form=“jmc_venue_form” /> </li> <li class=“date”><txp:jmc_event_time php_date=“l jS F” /></li> <li class=“time”><txp:jmc_event_time php_date=“H:i” /></li> <li class=“price”><txp:jmc_event_price /></li> <li class=“otherbands”><txp:jmc_event_otherbands /></li> <li class=“other”><txp:jmc_event_otherinfo /></li> </ul>
</li></code>

hCard stylings for the Venue
<code>
<div class=“vcard”> <a href=”<txp:jmc_venue_url />” class=“url org”><txp:jmc_venue_name /></a> <div class=“adr”> <div class=“street-address”><txp:jmc_venue_address1 /><br /><txp:jmc_venue_address2 /></div> <span class=“locality”><txp:jmc_venue_suburb /></span>, <span class=“region”><txp:jmc_venue_state /></span> <span class=“nation”><txp:jmc_venue_country /></span> <span class=“postal-code”><txp:jmc_venue_postcode /></span> </div> <div class=“tel”><txp:jmc_venue_phone /></div> <div class=“email”><a href=“mailto:<txp:jmc_venue_email />”><txp:jmc_venue_email /></a></div> <div class=“other-info”><txp:jmc_venue_otherinfo /></div>
</div></code>

jmc_if_variable function

The following is a list of variables that can be used with the jmc_if_variable function:

EVENTS:
event_id
event_name
event_price
otherbands
event_otherinfo

VENUE:
venue_id
venue_name
address1
address2
suburb
state
country
postcode
phone
url
email
venue_otherinfo

edit x 3: event_otherinfo event_otherbands and venue_otherinfo utilise textile.

TO DO LIST

Image for event + venue (backburnered)
RSS Feed Option (need help people with this one – txp sends out headers!!!)
Add functionality of searching by date/venue – added complexity, but added functionality

Easter Egg

For events (you should know what it’s useful for ;)):

Sounds like exactly what I need

Do we have to add another table manually? I’m not sure exactly what you mean…
<blockquote>* Event Listing

All thoughts welcome…

edit: should say I’m using it live atm @ The Lyrical Madmen (not finished yet though) for the gig guide…</blockquote>

can we have an example of how to implement this plugin ?

lee · 2005-09-07 10:04:24

Installing the plugin creates 2 new fields in the textpattern table called txp_jmc-event and txp_jmc_event_venue automatically.

Some usage instrictions are in the help after the plugin is installed.

Wow!! Seems like a really good plugin. Will take a test ride and let you know.

p.s. In What way is this a hack? (Its a plugin all the way right?)

soulship · 2005-09-07 18:59:06

Man this is fantastic! I just got a gig for a friends art site they have alot of show and this is just what the doctor ordered. Thanks! I’ll report back.

Awesome, I was just thinking how I was going to have to write something like this to move my band’s site to TXP.

Cheers guys…

I suppose I consider it a hack since it adds tables to the textpattern database… Not sure if that’s a definition. Future versions will be have preference tab – but need feedback from you guys over how to approach that – but will no doubt have ‘remove additional tables’ so you can get rid of them before uninstalling…

regards, kvack

lucashaley · 2005-09-08 01:13:49

Heya — this looks perfect for my own band site. I’m still really new to TXP, though. How do I even get started with this plugin? Thanks for any help!

jufemaiz · 2005-09-09 03:32:35

Install the plugin… (turn it on and go to the tab in ‘content’, go to venue manager, then back to event manager)

Start adding details…

Create form in ‘forms’ (presentation) – use the variables as above (first post) to call information

Call using <code><txp:jmc_events form=“formName” /></code> wherever you want it to be called… add the various other bits of information to limit the output… Done…

Hello. Just checked this out. It works very well. There’s only one small problem. If use a single quote (or apostrophe) in any of the textarea’s the entry doesnt get listed. Infact it doesnt make it to the database itself. I’m not sure what’s happening here. Everything else worked as excpected. I’ll let you know if I find anything else.

Regards,
Vasanth

jufemaiz · 2005-09-09 04:24:56

aaaah – cheers…

forgot about quotation marks… (hang on, are you talking about ‘otherinfo’ and ‘otherbands’? it’s textiled if that’s what you’re enquiring about (but that’s all I’m doing)… The other text forms need to be addslashes and remove slashes to them… (doh!)

I’ll update shortly…

creativesplash · 2005-09-09 05:03:52

Textile works fine. Its to do with “Single Quote’s”.

<blockquote>Example: “Today is Vasant<code>h’s</code> birthday” (I’m using an apostrophe here)</blockquote>
The event doesn’t make it to the database.

If I publish the event without the <code> ‘ </code> it gets published without any problems. (Today is Vasant<code>hs</code> birthday – gets published). But when I edit the published event to “Today is Vasant<code>h’s</code> birthday”, the text following the “apostrophe” gets ommitted. i.e. Only the text preceeding the “apostrophe” makes it to the database. I hope you get I am saying!

Vasanth
